Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. The Trojan would be ESP, SAO guns aren't allowed in SSP. I'm not sure about the Eagle as I'm not very familiar with the pistol.
  2. Two months ago a guy in my squad had a piece of brass eject, bounce off the barricade and back into the chamber, stovepiping. He cleared this, knocking it back towards him, and as he fired both brass pieces made it down his shirt.
  3. One of the old shooting instructors I've taken classes from does what leewhiskey recommends. He also drilled a hole in the side of the brass so he's sure it's the dummy rounds. I use the Tipton dummy rounds, works so far. I also have A-Zooms for my 12 gauge, but my Rem 870 tends to strip the rim of the dummy rounds. I do the same thing. I never reload anything but plain brass, so I loaded about 20 powder and primer-less rounds in nickel-plated brass to tell them apart. I keep them in their own box on a designated shelf.
  4. I used one for 8 months or so, never an issue. ND's aren't due to anything other than user error, with regard to SERPA bans. The lock will indeed slow you down but only minutely. Once you improve and become proficient with your draw stroke you can always upgrade. If anything my BlackHawk helped reinforce good trigger discipline. My finger always rests on the side of the frame during my drawstroke. YMMV.
  5. That is most definitely an accomplishment.
  6. Great post, inspiring to say the least. Might I ask why you were shooting ESP with a stock P226?
  7. Can I assume you meant 1.148"? An inch and a half is a little long. What PF do you get with 3.8gr at that OAL? 3.9gr gave me 124 PF at 1.16", so I'm curious what kind of velocity increase I might see as I shorten the OAL. Yes, thank you for the heads-up. 1.148 is what I meant and it makes a PF of just above 128. This isn't my competition load, just a new favorite for plinking.
  8. I'm loading for my 226 with 124gr MG hp. 4.3 gr tightgroup at 1.16 was alot more accurate than 4.4g. I had a jam over 200 rounds testing this weekend so I increased my crimp a little. My crimp was leaving a ridge at the case to bullet junction. You might want to try load workup again much shorter with the zero's. If you have another 9mm, my suggestion is try 4-4.3 grains again with a length that will work with both guns. I may be going this route if the increased crimp does not get me to 100% reliability. I've found an OAL of 1.148 produces the best results out of my 226. 3.8gr Bullseye with Tula Small Pistol Magnum primers and a 124gr MG JHP produced 3 5 shot groups of 1 9/16" or less last night at 25yds benched. The components aren't ideal but they're what I have lying around, and have proved to be fairly accurate and 100% reliable.
